Activist School Needs Instructors!
In order to address US militarism, neoliberalism, racism, sexism and other forms of injustice as well as basic organizer skills, we draw on long-term movement leaders and participants to instruct our courses. We pay instructors on a flat fee for each course they teach and an additional amount for students over a set number.

We are looking individuals that have:

• An Extensive knowledge on either organizing and activism or extensive knowledge of a particular topic or theme related to militarization or other forms of oppression.
• A creative idea for a course and substantial knowledge of that subject area through work or educational experience. (See list of potential course ideas below.)
• Strong computer skills and the ability to quickly learn new platforms. (Previous knowledge of Moodle is preferred, but not necessary.)
• The ability to meet deadlines for turning in an application, syllabus and biography. They must also be able to build and teach the course within the required time frame and offer at least one live-time interaction.
• The ability to produce a five-week syllabus that will increase the skills and topical understanding of activists in their course.
• The ability to facilitate online courses on a semi-regular basis and provide thoughtful feedback and punctual interaction with students.
• A willingness and ability to market their course to listserves and potential students outside of our existing marketing scope.

If you are interested or would like to recommend someone, please fill out this application and send it to Jamie Way at info@afgj.org You may do so in the form of a Word Document or email if you are unable to alter the PDF. Additionally, feel free to include any questions you may have.
